It’s pretty much every person’s nightmare – being one of the last people to your seat and you fall right through it.

Don’t worry Elton, who had his own World Team Tennis squad which consisted of Andy Roddick, John McEnroe, Martina Hingis and Heather Watson, in the charity meet, was quickly helped up by people nearby while a worried Martina Hingis looks on.
